I was forcing myself to be pro TRA despite my doubts at the time. I was nearly only friends with queer people at the time (I've... Let go of them this month finally and it's not fun.) and felt like I was horrible if I didn't. Also I was especially depressed at the time and feeling like I was part of "something great" made me hold it for a long time. I really liked Hbomberguy, too, I connected a lot with his work, like his video on the outsiders for example, so I was certain it was my civic duty.

... Since then I dated a trans woman and in trying to be a better ally I fell into all the trans subreddits and saw how vile they were and I peaked violently finally. So yeah. Live and learn.
